Back when they started, I actually hosted (for free) a mirror of their download site for a while. I don't remember receiving even a thank you. 🤷‍♂️

I also bought a Pi back when they were brand new. I think I missed the first batch, but got one of the second batch. I did try it out, booted it to a desktop, connected to our living room TV. Then I put it in a drawer and haven't used it again.

WELP THAT'S THE END OF THAT I'M DONE!
Raspberry Pi is now a publicly traded company. The #enshittificaton can only vastly accelerate at this point.
All right, Chooms, time to find alternatives!

@LambdaCalculus I got a few because they were cheap and readily available for a time. One runs octoprint, another runs pihole, and a third sits unused. Never found a reason to connect them to hardware, just as a “I need a little dedicated machine for this” sort of device. For anything hardware I use ESP32

@Twig @The 500 Hats of LambdaCalculus nod Makes sense. For someone whose whole job is to run servers, I really kinda hate having more machines to look after, which may be why I never really did anything like that.
